This is what Santa Cruz is best known for! A great place for classic arcade games and a chance to ride the classic Giant Dipper rollercoaster.
We visit often! It is a truly fantastic aquarium.
This is a beautiful walk along the cliffs overlooking the ocean. We visited this park often before we moved to Santa Cruz.
Stroll through Capitola Village for gorgeous beach views, cute shops, and colorful houses.
This is our favorite thing to do in the Santa Cruz area! Rent kayaks in Elkhorn Slough for an opportunity to hang out with the sea otters. We find the morning to be the best time to go.
Check out the Redwood Grove Loop Trail for a stunning walk through the redwoods.
